Key result
Muscle power training lowers casual systolic BP ~7 mmHg in elderly T2DM, but not resting BP.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to evaluate the acute and chronic effects of 12 weeks of muscle power training on casual and resting blood pressure in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Does 12 weeks of muscle power training reduce casual and resting blood pressure in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus?

p-value: p=< 0.01
Muscle power training acutely reduces casual blood pressure after training sessions in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes, though it does not significantly lower resting blood pressure over 12 weeks.
Acute post-session BP drops may warrant monitoring in elderly T2DM; leaves open resting BP effects pending larger trials.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of 12 weeks of muscle power training (MPT) on casual blood pressure (BP) (before and after each training session) and resting BP (pre- and post-training program) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) elderly.Methods: Twelve T2DM elderly individuals (68.75 ± 7.83 years), non-insulin-dependents participated in the present study and performed the MPT program twice a week. Casual BP was measured before and after training sessions, and resting BP was measured 48 h before the first and 48 h after the last training session.Results: Significant decrease in casual systolic (SBP) (−7.08 ± 4.12 mm Hg [effect size [ES]: −1.42 to −0.11]; p < 0.01) and diastolic (DBP) BP (−3.14 ± 1.24 mm Hg [ES: −1.24 to −0.18]; p > 0.01) was found after training sessions, without significant effect (p > 0.05) of the week along time or casual BP × week interaction. No significant change in resting SBP (−5.08 ± 8.93 mm Hg [ES: −0.41]; p = 0.07) and DBP (0.47 ± 6.06 mm Hg [ES: +0.11]; p = 0.79) was found.Conclusion: MPT was able to reduce casual BP after training sessions. However, there was no significant reduction in resting BP after MPT. Nevertheless, although not statistically significant, there were important clinical reductions in resting SBP in T2DM elderly patients.

Machado et al. (2019) studied type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=12). muscle power training (MPT) was evaluated on casual blood pressure (before and after each training session) and resting blood pressure (pre- and post-training program) (p=< 0.01). Muscle power training over 12 weeks significantly reduced casual systolic (-7.08 mm Hg, p<0.01) and diastolic blood pressure after sessions in elderly T2DM patients, but did not significantly reduce resting BP.
